Historical Note
The Randall V. Mills Archives of Northwest Folklore was a repository of fieldwork collections and research materials on folklife in Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. The repository was part of the University of Oregon (UO) Folklore and Public Culture Program. The university established the repository in the English department in 1966 under the leadership of Director of Folklore and Ethnic Studies, Barre Toelken. It was named in memory of UO professor, scholar, and author Randall V. Mills, whose bequest of books and photographs on regional history and folklore were its first acquisitions.
In 2023, all unique collections held by Randall V. Mills Archives of Northwest Folklore were transferred to University of Oregon Libraries, Special Collections and University Archives.
